1. The following data represent the length of life in years, measured to the nearest tenth, of
30 similar fuel pumps:

2.0 3.0 0.3 3.3 1.3 0.4

0.2 6.0 5.5 6.5 0.2 2.3
1.5 4.0 5.9 1.8 4.7 0.7
4.5 0.3 1.5 0.5 2.5 5.0
1.0 6.0 5.6 6.0 1.2 0.2

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the life in years of the fuel pump using the digit to
the left of the decimal point as the stem for each observation.
b. Set up a relative frequency distribution.
c. Compute the sample mean, sample range, and median.
